For the love of quilting
Niagara Modern Quilt GuildOur mission is to support and encourage the growth and development
of modern quilting through art, education, and community.
Monthly meetings
We are exploring a hybrid format, in person at Meridian Centre and on Zoom for our regular monthly meeting. We meet the second Thursday of every month and offer special guest speakers, exciting topics about modern quilting, show and tell, and more!
Meeting location: 100 Meridian Wy, Fonthill, ON L0S 1E6

education
One of the greatest strengths of our guild is the wide range of learning opportunities available. We offer ZoomBees, virtual and in person workshops, challenges and more. And if you want to strengthen or learn a new skill, we welcome you to practice by participating in Quilting Kindness, our charity quilt program serving Niagara region.
Quilting kindness
Quilting Kindness is comprised of guild members who make and deliver quilts to those in need across Niagara region. In our most recent effort, we donated 23 quilts to Harriett Tubman public school in St. Catharines. The principal and vice principal were thrilled to have them for their “Gift of Giving” program.
A Word
From Our President
“Did you mark April 14th in your calendar?? Just in case you didn’t (lol) our face-to-face meeting in a very, very long time will be held at the Meridian Centre in Fonthill at 7:00 PM. Plenty of parking and elevator available as our meeting room is located on second floor location. (Look for signage) We strongly encourage you to wear a mask during the meeting.
Come early to drop off your auction items to Heather Salter!
It’s spring!! Enjoy the nice weather.”
